Urban Deca Homes Ortigas is one of the largest residential projects currently under development in the Philippines. It involves the construction of 22 residential buildings with 19,000 one- and two-bedroom units on a 13-hectare property in Metro Manila.

The developer aims to attract young working families from the surrounding areas of Ortigas, Eastwood, and Vertis North by offering affordable accommodations, starting at just $30,000 per unit.

Dextra has supplied nearly 150,000 Groutec couplers for 20 of the residential buildings. Model S25 and S28 couplers are used to connect rebars in load-bearing shear walls.

This type of mechanical splice is designed to simplify the installation of precast concrete elements, such as panels or columns.

On-site, connections are made in seconds by injecting non-shrink grout into the Groutec cavity.

The project is expected to be completed by 2022.
